I see you haven't heard a darn thing I've been saying! Iran's a threat, its been saying, "Death to America!" ever since the Iranian Revolution.
Every day, there's a lot of peoples which scream "death to America" then go home without thinking to do any harm to US citizens, that's some kind of imaginary protest against US government.
Even US american guys blasted government buildings, as in Oklahoma City, there is no islamic monopoly on terrorism, the IRA blew bombs in UK, ETA in Spain, killing innocent peoples.
The answer is up to who will be soldiers, their parents and relatives, saloon strategists love to play with human lives as if they were just jacks on the chessboard
So you say the soldiers should save themselves and later on watch their families die as the nukes they could have prevented Iran from getting are used on them. You have such a heroic notion of what the job of soldiers is supposed to be, such as hiding behind lady's skirts.
No, I'm saying that war hasn't to be decided by saloon strategists as you are now or as a Rumsfeld was !
Iranian authorities will not give any nuke to uncontrolled terrorists, and they now that terrorists always run out of control.
USA gave weapons to the Talebans to fight the Russians in Afghanistan, they ran out of control with the results you know.
Ask the Algerian people, I don't think that they'll tell you that the independence war in Algeria was romantic. French troopers used torture and morally lost that war even if they "technically" won it.
Pakistan is ruled by a rational leader, he is not a religious fanatic, his main interest is asserting power and controlling his country (...)
So was the Iran's Shah, he was ousted by a supported by the clerics popular revolt, I wouldn't rely as you do on the strenght of an unpopular leader if his army gets infiltrated by islamic extremists, so what if fanatics takes the power in Karachi ?
The best thing to do on purely human terms is to invade and overthrow the Iranian government. The Democrats are too afraid of the present cost ih human terms to avoid a greater cost in the future, so I'm afraid it may come to nuclear war if we want to save our soldier's lives now by not invading.
Best thing to do is to insure Iranian friendship, maybe next time there will be an earthquake or something like that, if an Iranian should read what you say, he would more eagerly again want nukes to defend his country from you warmonging.
In this way, your call on attacking Iran isn't as different as a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call to destroy Israel or USA, I see some of a symetric attitude
What is worse, losing 10,000 soldiers lives over 10 years or 30 million in a single day?
The answer is up to who will be soldiers, their parents and relatives, saloon strategists love to play with human lives as if they were just jacks on the chessboard
Deterrence is not worth much against a religious fanatic with a nuclear bomb. Do you think the Iranians don't realize that the US has thousands of nuclear missiles capable of reaching their country?
Yes, everybody is aware that USA have nukes and used two of them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki
When you have a fanatic with trying to get nuclear weapons, you have two choices, stop him, or murder him before he has a chance to launch them. If you let the fanatic have nukes, hes just going to build enough of them to cause significant damage and then he'll launch them. I don't trust the Iranians to have enough humanity to be deterred, I've seen too many terrorists blow themselves up, and Tehran is "terror central", their revolution was born of terrorism against Americans, they are a creature of terrorism.
The iranian revolution was against the Shah, the US embassy hostage affair happened when the country was a whole mess.
So, if you think that all Iranians are mad enough to dare threaten USA with nukes, that's racism.
They have a president which screams, that's only a matter of regional dominancy and prestige among the muslim world, and a way to rally public iranian opinion which, otherwise, would oppose mollarchy for more democracy and would complain about economics, but sure the ayatollahs wouldn't let this civilian any power to press the nuclear button.
It's a little more complex than you say, claiming that someone is enraged, since both India and Pakistan are nuclear powers, they don't dare going at war directly at each other:

A woman was just killed in a Kasam Rocket attack on Israel. I guess the Palestinians didn't really know who it was they were trying to kill with their random rocket attacks. Was that woman really oppressing the Palestinians so much?
That's awful. I do condemn such acts.
Just notice that Israelis' retaliations are as wild for a civilian killed in Israel as for a a soldier killed in occupied territory.
You don't want to see that because of your prejudice against Jews or against Americans and America's allies.
False accusation, I did support Gulf war one, I support war at the talebans and at the terrorists. I don't support "great Israel" and the Israel "right" to occupy other peoples' land out of the internationaly recognized fronteers of Israel.
I have prejudices at warmoning behaviour.
One thing I do notice about left-wingers is their tendency to use euphanisms alot. Instead of using the word baby killing or abortion, they call it "choice". People who butcher the English language to obscure their intentions are nothing but a bunch of moral cowards.
Up to now, as long as it's not born, a human being has no legal existence, and a foetus is called a foetus, be by left wingers or not, it's the rightwing attitude to call a "baby" a foetus as an euphemism up to dictate to women as they should act, the bunch of moral cowards, as you say, applies on rightwingers too.
In this case, it's up to each woman to deal with her own moral and ethic, personnaly, I'm opposed to abortion, but I'm not in a woman's body, and I don't feel any right to tell her how she must behave.
I'm not a biologist, but I think that as long as a foetus hasn't an organised nervous system built, it cannot think, it cannot feel pain, and therefore cannot be a conscious being. Killing an inconcious being isn't killing a baby.
And you will notice that, as a foreigner, I take more care on my english than yourself. euphanisms doesn't exist in any english dictionnary, so much for the peoples which are supposed to butcher the english language.
Anyways, I don't intend to speak or write english like an englishman or like an US american, I know that my sentences are built as by a latin and french educated man. The main is to be understood by english speaking peoples.
The United States has a population of 300 million people, I'm sure it can mobilize an army large enough to get the job done. The only question is whether the Democratic Congress and Senate will let us save our cities from Iranian nuclear attack.
Job's not even done in Iraq.
Iran isn't up to get an ICBM, and miniaturize a nuclear bomb isn't that easy.
Iran just may threaten Israel, but Israel has nukes and nuclear deterrence.
Best get them before they have nukes. If Congress won't allow us a sustained operation, then a quick and dirty operation to destroy their government will have to suffice.
That won't do anything, you can kill all of the iranian civil authorities, the real power is in the mosques, Ahmadinejad is just a mollahs' puppet.
The Iranians can hide ultracentrifugers in any suburb basement, you can't find them just by satellite spying, so you will have to invade Iran by earth to search on the ground, and you don't have enough military means unless you mobilise one million men to invade and control a 70 millions inhabitants country large a 3 Texas, when security isn't even assumed for your troops in Iraq.
That's just your brutal and idle terrorism fueling yakety-yak, as usual
You are worst than the extremists zionists, that's all I can say with our deaf an blind war support. You'd better be logical with yourself, stop chatting and show some real courage by engaging yourself in the marines or in Tsahal
I'm really happy to see a majority of peoples voted against all you represent as violent politic thinking, hate and retaliations supporting, never minding of casualties.
You're giving the ugliest image of USA as can be
My solution is to punish terrorism. A society that embraces terrorism should be punished.
When Arafat and Israel were negociating peace, colonisation never stopped, I did condemn the palestinian "right to return" meaning that Israel would long-term be overflown by Arabs, but there couldn't be any trust from Palestinians as long as the official and wild settlements lasted.
Your solution, punish "terrorism" don't mean any thing, we aren't at "war on terror", this stupidity has shown its couterproductivity for three long years.
We're at war at terrorists, first thing to do is to avoid conditions which fuel terrorism, then identify and streak terrorists in their nests, turn a whole population into terrorits' supporter as well as weakening the moderate palestinian leaders are the worth thing to do, destroying palestinian Arafat side turned the population towards hamas.
So please, stop supporting the retaliations way, the one that leads to US and Israel international isolation.
That's enough ! Only improvements in the palestinian conditions of life can help peace, collective punishment is nazi type behavoiur, anyways. Germans had collective punishments by Bremen, Hamburg, Dresden massive bombings bound to kill and terrorize as many civilians as possible, that did rather fuel a sharp german resistance will rather than break the population support for the Nazis.
We aren't in a movie and you aren't Inspector Harry
That is if we actually gave a damn about the Iraqis, if they hate us for helping them and they can't learn to appreciate that help, I sure don't want to help them anyway. The US does alot of good things around the World, in Indonesia for example after the tidal wave, if they can't learn to appriate our efforts and sacrifice for them, then we should stop helping them.
A year ago, anti-Americanism had shown some signs of abating, in part because of the positive feelings generated by U.S. aid for tsunami victims in Indonesia and elsewhere.
http://pewglobal.org/reports/display.php?ReportID=252
The point of the whole exercise and why we are bothering is to enhance our security, if we reward our enemies while trying to help the Iraqis, we are losing site of our original goal of enhancing our security.
"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
If the US assault on Iraq was wonderfully prepared and carryed out, the Iraq occupation gestion has been catastrophically unpreapared by stupid ideological daydreamers which didn't new anything about Iraq and the Iraqis.
That started with the destruction of all kind of an administrative insfrastructure in Iraq, hunting Baasiths, letting no police nor army forces to stop all administrative buildings, schools, universities, hospitals and museums looting and plundering.
Turning the baathist Sunnis into ennemies instead of offering them cashed collaboration was the main tragical mistake.
Many would have followed the winning camp instead of a hounded leader obliged to hide like a rat. In a party like Baath, like in all parties in the world, there are numbers 2, 3, 4 and so on which want to be the new number one. It would have been much more productive to keep the former baathist administration, then oblige it to share power with the Shias and the Kurds.
Now, the Iraqi police and army are Shias and Kurds militias infiltrated, they also commit terrorist attacks at the Sunnis as well as Sunnis and foreign terrorists commit terrorist attacks, and that's three years of a fueled by "good intentions" rising civil war in Iraq.
It's no use roaring, you'd better think about the way to make less ennemies and more allies
Then I strongly suggest that your France goes back to Feudalism, that way neighboring provinces don't have to compete with each other, they and protect their local industries and manufacture everything locally, and the various municipalities can chage high tarriffs for moving goods across their borders.
While you're childishly chatchatting, Congressmen are taking care of balancing "free-trade" dirtorsions, and US jobs...
http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RL33317.pdf
Congress has been concerned with broad policies giving Chinese exporters
unfair trade advantages. The Senate approved a bill, added as an amendment to
other legislation, that would place a high tariff on Chinese imports unless China
revalues its pegged exchange rate (S. 295).
And also a constant fact that always escapes liberals is that the Palestinians support terrorism, and any state they create will be a terrorist state.
It's a constant from you that you support any kind of a solution which fuels terrorism
So the ancient Romans went into the woods to go see a prostitute and got torn to pieces. How can the Romans be so dumb not to be able to tell the difference between these two things?
I'm just telling you what can the differences between legend written years after facts and facts.
like an angry chick, you would say anything stupid just to hast the last word in a family dispute.
Your order of events is backwards.
First Israel didn't hold that territory when it was attacked.
That's what's called an occupied territory.
Everybody knows the price of peace is a palestinian state on these occupied territories.
As long as Israel occupy these territories, there will be a liberation conflict.
Your are just justifying an everlasting war
Bash Bush and you get the Democrats who are more protectionist.
Not such a bad thing, free economy and trade as seen as by Reps or by European lawmakers is a fake. All national industries grew up behind protective fronteers, and in a global economic system, industries settle where workers have the lowest wages and social rights, with high impact on social rights in develloped countries.
If tomorrow you have to compete with indonesian or pakistanese labour wage levels in your job, you may become a hobo in an industries emptyless country.
Think of it.
Having high dependency level on imported goods is a strategical weakness.
In the bible it says the Pharoe's name was Ramses, which Ramses, it was I don't know.
Ramesses II (also known as Ramesses the Great and alternatively transcribed as Ramses and Rameses *Ria'mīsisu) was an Egyptian pharaoh of the Nineteenth dynasty. He was born ca. 1302 BC.
Pyramids were built about 2500 BC, no use to keep on your ignorant's arguing ! Jews could definitively NOT work on pyramids more than a millenium before and nowhere in the Bible nor Torah is mentionned any pharaoh, it's just always called "Pharaoh"
Anyways, Moses childhood's legend is a copy of Sargon II childhood story :
My mother was a changeling, my father I knew not. The brothers of my father loved the hills. My city is Azupiranu, which is situated on the banks of the Euphrates. My changeling mother conceived me, in secret she bore me. She set me in a basket of rushes, with bitumen she sealed my lid. She cast me into the river which rose over me. The river bore me up and carried me to Akki, the drawer of water. Akki, the drawer of water, took me as his son and reared me. Akki, the drawer of water, appointed me as his gardener. While I was a gardener, Ishtar granted me her love, and for four and […] years I exercised kingship
http://history-world.org/legend_of_sargon.htm
Buoyant baskets were traditionnal in Mesopotamia, Egyptians had no asphalt as in Mesopotamia to make a basket waterproof, Egyptians would have built a Nile reeds raft instead, so that the legend of baby Moses found in a basket by the Pharaoh's favorite then becoming Pharaoh's advisor is probably more pure fairy tale than a historic fact.
Same kind of historical fake with the Romolus and Remus grown up by a she-wolf legend; in latin, "lupa" she-wolf, also means prostitute, but it's so much less prestigious and fantastic if the two glorious roman twins could have been rose by a prostitute
Good Point DonPanic, but that argument also applies to the ancestors of the Jews today who founded the Modern state of Israel
My argument applies on th recent jew immigration in OCCUPIED TERRITORY COLONIES since 1967, which are illegal in regard of the international laws, don't you bring your Israel's fondators.
Whatever your says are, the isaraeli occupation of these territories is since 40 years the source of state of war
Anyways, I' a proud ennemy of the Evangelists !
Why is Israel doing this? To stop Hezbollah from resupplying its troops thats why and UNIFIL is not stopping the rearmament of the Hezbollah.
KMT still remains the main Taiwan's political party
Great photo by the way. How do you do it?
You find a picture adress on the web, copy it, press img insert the adress then press img again
By the time China "takes over Taiwan" I predict there will be little to distinguish them from Taiwan. You are so ... 1900's DonPanic. The times they are a'changing, and tsk, tsk, your outmoded prejudices are a bit obious, I'm afraid..
I'm not, large majority of Taiwan chineses feels they are chinese, there aren't such differences between a Shangai or a Taipei inhabitant, much taiwanese businessmen have heavy investments in continental China, so that the economic and cultural links remain much stronger than you think.
Chineses are born trademen, if staying a reluctant province of China becomes much more interesting than turning to be an hostile foreign dwarf China 2, Taiwaneses wich favour business, esay travels to see separated families members and stop to support the independentist parties in Taiwan.
That's XXIrst century realpolitic, Mr Dicktice, and I'm quite sure that today's continental China leaders don't lack political realism.
You have here datas on taiwaneses investments in continental China showing that Taiwan is in good ranking among top foreign investissors
We'd like better that the Israelis won't renew on our troops such "regrettable mistakes" such as
Beit Hanoun "artillery mistake"
or
Israel's Attack on the USS Liberty

http://www.unitedstatesgovernment.net/i … iberty.htm
L.O.
It's always worth going to the information source, dear
All I ask is that they recognize that the Jews have a right to be there too. (...)
If the Palestinians stop, then the Israeli will stop too. The problem is the Palestinians don't stop, so the Israelis are forced to deal with them harshly in order to protect themselves from them. Am I making sense to you?
No, not untill Israel doesn't say that it will remove with a planified and respected calendar all its colonies settled by force on the palestinian territory as they did for Gaza as soon as all the palestinians parties will have recognised Israel. One shot at Israelis will give to Israel the right to delay the colonies removal. If not, the state of war is kept by Israel because the occupation is a state of war at the occupied people.
If you step on my foot for too long a moment, I've told you that's hurts me, you press louder, my right is to punch you off, as well as you have the right to fire at someone which intends to settle upon your property against your will
There is plenty of room in the Neguev desert to settle colonies, state of war is much more costful than desalinate water to have a flourishing desert.
As a martian colonisation supporter you should admit that terraforming the Neguev desert is much more a valuable expense than being at war at your neighbourhood.
Forgetting about Exodus, Moses, and the Enslavement of the Jews to build those pyramids aren't you?
Wah ! You're caught showing obvious historical, may be hysterical, ignorance
The Torah leaves the identity of this Pharaoh unstated, the pyramids were built about 2500 BC, and Moses is supposed to have leave Egypt about 1500 BC
The Jews weren't in Egypt when the Pyramids were built. They is not the slightest evidence of any jewish presence when ancient egyptians built great Pyramids.
In no ways ancient Egyptians would have let impure hands work on their sacred places, same for the middle-age cathedrals builders which would never had let a non christian work on churches' building.
Even wearing leather sandals was forbiden, because an average egyptian fellah could ever hope for his kid to become a clark if his kid's intelligence was noticed by a clergyman, and because impure jobs as butchery, whool weaving, leather working looked like impure, ancient Egyptians which were mainly farmers did abandon theses jobs to Hebrews or other nomad tribes which were mainly sheep breeders.
When the yearly river Nile inondation flooded over cultivated fields, there were hundreds thousand free hand egyptians fellahs ready to go to work on Pyramids as a religious duty, rewarded by meals and seeds bags, that was much more free hands than needed for the Pyramids building yards.
The Jews couln't have written a holly book without having an alphabet based on hierogliphyc origin which in not find in anyways in the hebrew alphabet , influenced by Hyksos civilisation.
Therefore what you write about the legend of jew slaves working on Pyramids is just a fake showing your obvious ignorance of Egytology
The other point is that nobody can be guilty for his so-called ancestors'acts committed more than four milleniums and a half ago, if you grief today's Palestinians or Arabs for some fantasmatic misbehaviour from ancient Egytians at the ancient Jews, either you are a mad guy, or you don't realize the stupidity of your arguments: if you want biblical arguments, guess to which country three jews nowadays called as Joseph, Mary and Jesus routed to shelter far from Herod's wrath ?
Any way the Jews have a greater claim to Israel than my ancestors had for settling here, at least the Jews can claim that they are returning to their ancient homeland, the one they were driven out of by the Roman
Empire.
Palestinians aren't responsible for the Romans and haven't have to pay the price for the Romans, neither they have to pay the price for the nazis. Palestinians have been home in Palestine for centuries. That's a drama for them to have been forced out too. Zionists in Europe tought they could settle in what they tought Palestine was to be some kind of a desert.
I think the Palestinians could stand to be a little more tollerant of cultural diversity. Their religion is after all an offshoot of Judaism just like Christianity
When the Jews were ousted from Spain after the reconquista, where were they welcame ? In muslims countries which tolerated Jews and Christians as, hooly Books religions. I'm sure you forgot that the biggest jew temples were in Egypt. In history Jews never suffered such harassment in arab lands as they suffered in Europe. That's why the Arabs now think that Israel betrays them.
You have just dehumanized the victims or random rocket attacks by Palestinians, you abstract them and call them occupiers. Don't you realize that most of them were probably born in Israel, just like I was born here in the United States.
The facts are that most of the colonists are newcomers in Israel, they are american french or ukrainian originated peoples which think tahat a bible is some kind of property bill on the palestinian territory.
If you pull back on that map so that Jordan and Lebanon also fall into view, then you get a better idea of where the Palestinians live.
I've been there, don't you pretend to give me a geography lesson on what I know and have seen by my own eyes.
The first assumption I made is that the liberals are right and the Iraq War was wrong, so with that assumption, I concluded that Arabs therefore don't deserve democracy, since giving them the vote is considered immoral, and that it was wrong to remove their dictator which has terrorized them for so long.
Just think about the way majority of protestants do prey for God, standing up.
Muslims prey in a complete submission attitude. To my eyes, this submission attitude is found in the population attitude for the muslims leaders which all try to find family links with the Prophet lineage.
I guess you never travelled in an arab country. One thing that hit me is that in many places, you can see a poster of all the arab countries' leaders whoever they are, be kings or presidents, Khadafi or Saddam Hussein were aside Hassan II or Gulf Emirs, all are respected by the average arab citizens. That seemed very strange to me.
France had a long and torturous path to democracy, so perhaps by your reasoning your people should not have tried and should have remained content to live under an absolute monarch.
All depends on men more than on institutions, monarchies can become parliamentary monarchies and be true democraties like GB, Holland, Danemark or Sweden as well as co-called republics can be dictatorial.
All leaders lie, Even FDR, the US President that liberated France from German Occupation. FDR lied quite a bit, he promised to the American people that he would keep the United States out of World War II, while he fully intended to get the United States involved under some pretext, he even wrote Churchill letters to that effect while he was campaigning, that was a lie, are you complaining about that?
I don't complain about being liberated from Nazi occupation, nevertheless, USA didn't went at war up to rescue France as they did in 1917, but because the Japs attacked USA, otherwise, France future woud have relied on the Red Army succes over Wermacht.
France was the best landing place way to Berlin, with an previsible population welcoming and cooperation against german troops.
The facts are that repports on the so-called WMD were deliberately falsified in order to make a case for a war at Iraq, even Colin Powell recognised it, FDR didn't simulate the Pearl Harbour attack, as far as I know.
Sometimes I think France wants to be the World's only democracy judging by the number of dictators it typically deals with that are trying to undermine it. Giving refuge to the Ayatollah Khomeni didn't help the Carter Administration much either. The world would have been a much better place had the Shah managed to execute him before he foisted his Islamic Revolution on the World.
First, I'm not France, I just give my own personnal point of view,
Each country, USA too, favour the countries, be democracies or dictatures, that fit with its own geostrategical interests.
I think that the Shah's regime would have crashed anyways, just like "democratic" eastern Germany or Poland, if not Khomeini, some other leader would have risen.
It's not politic-fiction that leads the world affairs, as most of your daydreaming posts suggest.
I think the Palestinians who launch rockets into Israel every day and night and target civilians are murderers. Insults I can handle, but violence has got to stop. (....)If you go around saying that Palestinians have every right to go kill their relatives in Israel, then I'm sure their opinion of you is not going to be very high.
The first violence is 40 years of israeli occupation on palestinian territory
The following map shows what is palestinian territory left surrounded by the grey israeli occupation zone. You have not understod where stands the injustice, and that occupied peoples have the legitimate right to attack occupiers.
Just try to realise the map scale, this pelestinian territory is less than 35 miles wide.
That's not the first time I link at occupation map. You dont want to understand, that's why terrorists take this as a pretext for the 9/11 attack, because USA is the only country which as some influence on Israel and does about nothing to oblige Israel to scarp off.
bgut you say in effect that the Arabs are not, that we should not push democracy on them because Arabs are "unworthy of self-governance. (...) George Bush has had some good intentions for them
You shouldn't have pushed an unwanted democracy.
It takes time to peoples with clanish traditions to get used to democratic processes. Many countries have the appearance of democracy, have vote, and once leaders have power, they abuse the populations with power, favour their own clans, that's a fact, not a racist point of view, as it is a fact that Hitler went to power thanks to peoples' vote.
Democracy isn't a guaranty against dictatorship, say the contrary is just naive. Democracy often follows welfare state. Hungry peoples don't care about democracy, they want to eat first and will follow any kind of a leader which promises food.
but the liberal position is that its immoral to take down a dictator who is slaughtering his people, and that dictators are the only things Arabs are good for.
It's not a liberal position that set my opinion on Iraq, but the french intelligence services repports saying that if Saddam was toppled with a war, the situation in Iraq would become out of control. The Sunnis had weapons, the US administration gave weapons to the Kurds and the Shias, with as a result, an unavoidable civil war. The facts are more tenacious than your american dreams of worlwide democracy.
Job hasn't been finished in Afghanistan, where Europeans are involved too. There, the money spent in Iraq would have been essential to make of this operation a succes, now we have 2 big problems to solve, not including Pakistan where north eastern provinces are out of control, while Iran and North Korea toughen attitude because of this all failure.
I think it is wrong to demonize George Bush as he has been demonized by the Press and in Europe
Bush demonized himself when going at war with lies on WMD, against 75% of the western Europe public opinion he didn't care of, and each time there have been a vote, the european leaders which allied Bush in opposition of each public opinion were punished. That's well done!
Democracy is also the respect of the peoples' will.
It's quite insane from you to keep on a failing point of view on middle east politics when even Bush recognizes that the situation is really unpleasant and fires the main responsible for this failure.
How honestly, how many Jews have participated in the Paris Riots that you are aware of? Have any Jews burned any cars or buses for example?
Here, a jewish lawyer married with a muslim woman started to support his daughters which wanted to enter public schools with a hijab. That was at the start of the veil affair which spread al over france plenty of muslim women hijab or even niqab.
You know, I'd rather be called a "goim" than be murdered, shot, or blown up by an Arab Muslim terrorist
"Goim" is the plural for "goy".
I don't want to be attacked by terrorists, be arabs or not, I don't neither want to be insulted by Jews living by my side, I never mistreated any Jew.
A jew family lived second floor of my flat. One friday night, the family mother knocked on my door for a help, her daughter just hurted herself with a peace of brokenglass, they hadn't any wound dressing, the mother couldn't move far cause it was Sabbath. I took a bike ride to go and fetch some bandage to a nightly opened drug store.
So, I require the same respect for myself than my own respect for their believes.
Now, you exhaust my patience always saying that Arabs are terrorists, I live in a nice multiethnic district of Paris with no burned cars and lot of these frindly arab storkeepers. In arab countries Arabs are the main victims of terrorism are the most threatened by terrorists.
Stop saying that Arabs are terrorists, that's pure racism.
By the way, a whole lot of your messages are so straight minded that if you intended to support Bush and his policy, I guess that it had the opposite effect on your readers mind, vote against whom you support. Keep on like that, you are more and more unbearable.
I like better to have at least balanced and rather nice chats with some forum members who like peace than to argue endlessly with you and your warmonging and paranoid spirit.
On the contrary, we were given an impossible problem to solve, and therefore we did not solve it. It is not our fault that people make conditions towards its solution impossible. No matter what we did, the conclusion would have been unsatisfactory, the problem lies with the people who presented this problem, ie the Iraqi people, as it was not possible to solve the way we were required to solve it. (...)
Yet we had to allow their their freedom, their cars, their private spaces to stash weapons. Is that the conclusion we should draw? The Germans offered us no problem in this regard.
At first, USA weren't given the Iraq problem to solve, the Us administration took it, thinking that the Us troops would be welcome as liberators, this without the most of the world consent, among which all the arab countries.
Maybe the problems with peace wasn't Saddam Hussein so much as it was the Iraqi people?
You got it.
In fact, Saddam and the Sunnis didn't govern Iraq alone, they had agreements with some of the Shia factions, and some other religious minorities as the christian Iraqis.
The Iraqi peoples didn't support terrorism at the West, didn't endanger any foreign visitor. Now, they do. The Iraq war fueled terrorism.
Then you must certainly agree the Israel is more tollerant of other peoples beliefs than the Islamic countries surrounding it.
I've been to Israel. There are many nice peoples, but there are also colonists which are at least as intolerant as Arabs surrounding them, are racist and call the non jews "goim". If you are not a jew they call you a "goy". I can't be an ally with peoples which call me a "goy".
I shall not respect Israel as long as it occupies and colonises palestinian territories, which means that they still not ready to live in peace with their arab neighbours.
